What it is
In-person or hybrid group programs, such as a 6-week healthy habits course, held at community centers, gyms, offices or faith groups. You teach practical skills like meal planning and stress routines.
Your first three steps
- Complete a health coach training program and design one 4 to 6 week group course with a clear outcome
- Ask a local community center, gym or small employer about hosting a trial session
- Run a low-priced pilot group, gather testimonials and use them to book the next one
Who pays
Individuals paying to join a program, plus small employers, community organizations and clubs that book you for their members or staff.
How it makes money
Per-person fees for a course, or a flat fee per workshop or series for organizations. Groups let you earn more per hour than one-to-one coaching.
